INTRODUCTION
The UNIX cartridge holder is designed to hold a single VP Style cartridge for water
purification. The UNIX unit is modular in design to allow the customization or expansion of
the UNIX system. Multiple units can be used in series or parallel to achieve varying degrees of
water quality and flow rates.
The UNIX should be connected to a pressurized water supply between 5 psi and 30 psi. A
quick connect system allows cartridges to be changed without the use of tools.
The cartridge seal is made with a spring-loaded plunger assembly with o-ring seals. Best unit
performance is obtained when the cartridge is run down-flow. Purified water is dispensed
through the tube connected to bottom of the unit.
The UNIX holder comes with the o-rings and tube fittings factory installed. Tubing, a Shut
Valve, Inlet and Outlet Fittings, and Mounting Screws, are supplied with the unit. The inlet and
outlet connections must be installed by the user and cut to the desired length.
WARNINGS
1. Do not exceed a maximum pressure 30 psi.
2. Mounting wall must be able to support 25 pounds per unit.
3. Shut off valve must be installed on the inlet to the UNIX.
4. Shut off water supply at UNIX Inlet and de-pressurize unit before replacing cartridges
or servicing the unit.
5. Improper installation of the unit may case leaks.
